Australia boasts strong ownership of DSLR cameras with 30% of Australians having purchased one of these professional cameras. However according to a Sony study, this ownership has not translated into an upgrade of skills with almost two-thirds of DSLR consumers using their camera on auto-mode either always or most of the time. Furthermore, the study shows that one in three DSLR owners don’t know how to use their camera, which may correlate to why so many DSLR users are snapping images purely on auto-mode.
